Senior aide to Mahmoud Abbas accuses Hamas of coup attempt
By News Agencies
A senior Palestinian official accused Hamas lawmakers on Monday of attempting to oust Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas by nullifying a parliamentary decision that gave the Palestinian president wider powers.
"We see this as a coup attempt to change the regime and they
have to seriously reconsider their decisions," said Tayeb Abdel-Rahim, a senior aide to Abbas.
Meanwhile, exiled Hamas leader Khaled Meshal said Monday that the group's recent visit to Moscow marked the end of its international isolation.
Hamas legislators voted Monday to revoke all decisions made by the previous Palestinian parliament at its final session last month, including legislation that gave Abbas wider powers to appoint some judges.
